-students take turns conducting our 'hum orchestra'. When the conductor holds their hands close to their lap, we hum with low pitch. When they spread their hands apart, we hum louder. When they move their hands up, we hum a higher pitch. Listen to some of our musical creations as each student takes a turn conducting!
In the 'Animal Orchestra', students choose an animal noise and join groups with the same animal. They take turns being the conductor, using their hands to give directions to each section.
